Chapter 0239


    Just before I get up an Omega hands me a beautiful leather portfolio that has my name embossed


    in gold on the front. I thank her and smile, which earns me a tiny smile and wide eyes of confusion.


    Do people not use manners with the staff who work here?


    “My name is Sophie, Miss Skr. I''ll be your assistant today, let me know if you need anything at


    all.” She smiles warmly at me. She is close to my age, maybe 12 or 13. She is quiet, but I don''t get


    the feeling that she is shy, just well mannered.


    “It’s nice to meet you Sophie, I’m d to have a kind female near me today.” She giggles, but


    quickly schools it, like she isn’t allowed.


    “Some of the women can be a handful.” She shrugs, like that is the most normal thing in the world.


    “First, please tell me if I am being a handful. Your job is to assist me, not wait on me hand and foot.


    Second, tell me what I''m holding, this is my first time here and I''m not trying to make a fool of myself


    in front of these people.” I smile at her and she takes a deep breath.


    I walk next to Xander and Sophie is just behind my right shoulder whispering in my ear exining


    my schedule for the day.


    Like Alpha Reggie said, I would be attending the three biggest meetings today. I guess some other


    meetings are set up to talk about treaties or territory lines and patrols between territories. This is


    neutral territory and mediators are present so the negotiations don’t get out of hand.


    I will be attending everything with Xander and Alpha Reggie today. First up is the distribution of


    warriors amongst the packs in the kingdom to help train smaller packs to defend themselves. I


    guess there has been a shortage, but now that I know about this Rogue King and his attacks on


    packs surrounding the royal territory, I understand why the Alpha King is reluctant to send warriors


    away.


    “We need assistance, now! What is the Royal Pack prepared to do if we are attacked? Every pack


    surrounding us has had an attack in thest three years, it’s only a matter of time before we are


    attacked.” A grizzly old man all but shouts directly at the King. Apparently, some formalities are left


    outside this room.

    I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. This man has spent the better part of twenty minutes


    asking for help and demanding help, but not actually saying what he has done as a leader in his


    pack to make things better or to be prepared. It sounds like he wants to be the damsel in distress


    and to just be saved without doing any of the work.


    My impression is that he has watched too many Disney movies. I stifled a littleugh at the thought,


    but clearly didn''t do a good enough job since Grizzleface res at me then looks back at the King


    with a raised eyebrow, again, waiting for the King to do something about the situation.


    “Alpha Arthur Br of the Irontooth Pack, meet Skr Makain, one of the lead warriors of the Blue


    Crescent Pack.


    I believe Skr has some thoughts on your situation.” Alpha Reggie says calmly, almost bored.


    “There’s no way she is a lead warrior of any pack, she’s so tiny and she’s just a child.” He basically


    spits at me, and as much as it makes my blood boil, I keep my calm. He won''t bait me into acting


    like the child he thinksm. As ufortable as I am sitting in this room talking about training and


    warriors, this is my wheelhouse, this is what I do best, calm under pressure in aplicated


    situation.


    I ignore hisment about my age and size, that isn''t something that will be reasoned with, so it’s a


    nonissue"


    I have a few questions, Alpha Br. First you have asked for assistance, but not mentioned what


    you and your warriors are currently doing to prevent and protect against an attack. How do you


    expect anyone to proceed with assistance if they have no idea what type of situation they are


    walking into? Second, you are surrounded on three sides by very prominent packs and if memory


    serves, all of their attacks were on the opposite sides from your territory.” I point to a sprawling map


    that is painted into the gigantic circr table we are sitting at.


    “I would know, because my warriors and myself had to travel through your pack to lend assistance.”


    So much for not raising to his bait, oh well watching him squirm is even better than I thought.
